ARCHBISHOP coRRIGANs NOTICE TO THE CLERGY AND
LAITY.
The Catholic papers in New York print the fol-
lowing, signed by Archbishop Corrigan:
ITO the Very Reverend Clergy and Faithful
Laity OF the Archdiocese Of New York: Be 1t
known that on the 4th day OF May, 1887, the
cred congregation OF the propaganda admonished
Rev. DR.. Edward McGfynn, late rector OF st.
stephens church, in this city, that he had already
rendered himself liable to ecclesiastical censure
by disobeying the positive command OF the SOW
ever, to deal leniently with him. the sacred congr
cation refrained from 1nticting censure. and, Offer
eaS @ 70 os ns
order to present himself in Rome within forty
days from the receipt OF the letter containing
to be incurred ipse fdcto ct non'inattm.
This letter duly delivered to Rev. Dr. McGlynn.
and, as he allowed the days OF grace TO pass un-
needed, 1t became our sad duty to notify him that
he had incurred by his own act this penalty OF
communication by name, whereby he is cut of
from the communion Of the Church, from its sacra-
mentS and partici patton in its prayers and, should
he persevere in his contumacy, deprived OF the
right after death to Christian burial. 1t has be-
la1Jy OF our charge, which do by these letters,
that Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn is communicated
With al the @ penalties attached to this
No formal announcement OF the eXcommunica-
tion was made yesterday In the New York Cathe-
dral nor in any OF the principal Catholic churches
No Instructions were issued TO pastors concerning
the matter, each pastor being LEFT to exercise his
own Judgment in reading OF not reading the arch
bishops letter from his pulpit. The policy OF
silence seems to have been tacitly agreed upon by
the clergy.
The anti-poverty meeting last night was the
largest yet held, many persons being drawn
thlther, no doubt, in view OF the recent excom-
municatiOn OF Dr.. McGlynn. The Academy OF
Music was crammed, and the management found
It necessary to hire Irving Hall, directly opposite,
for an overflow meeting. This, too, was soon
packed, and hundreds were turned away.
DR. MGLYNN SHOWS HIS TEETH.
Dr. McGlynn was received with uproarious ap-
plause. In The course OF his speech he said after
referring to conscience as guide: 'sIf you want
to see true devotion to the Catholic Church, go
